Book presentation by Christopher H. Zakian (Director of Communications for the Eastern Diocese of the Armenian Church of America), Dr. Michael Papazian (Professor of Religion and Philosophy at Berry College), Dr. Rosemary Hartounian Cohen (Sociologist with a doctorate degree from the Sorbonne, Paris), Armen Simonian (Founder of First Christians Alliance Outreach), and Zorik Pirveysian (Environmental Engineer/Pastor).

Faithful Saints of Christ is both a spiritual journey and a powerful historical testimony. The book traces the miracles, struggles, and perseverance that shaped Armenian history. Readers will witness the courage of Armenians who defended their Christian faith against oppression—with emphasis on the story of St. Vartan and the Battle of Avarayr: the conflict in which the Armenians decisively confirmed their identity as a Christian people. The narrative continues into modern history, recounting the Armenian Genocide of 1915, the hidden genocide of 1918 in Iran, and the ongoing persecution of Christians worldwide. Faithful Saints of Christ honors the saints of yesterday who remained steadfast under persecution, while encouraging believers of today to stay faithful to Christ against the obstacles of the present world.

All five authors will be presenting segments from the book.

The book will be for sale during the lecture.

The presentation will also be live-streamed and made available a few days after the lecture on the Ararat-Eskijian Museum's YouTube channel.
